Social security benefits appeal dismissed; court upheld SVB's refusal of pension based on insufficient income proof.
Netherlands (NL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by two applicants against the Central Council of Appeal's decision. The applicants argued that the Social Insurance Bank (SVB) incorrectly denied their old-age pension because they failed to prove their income fell below the statutory threshold. The court ruled that the SVB acted correctly by requiring concrete evidence of low income, as the applicants provided no proof to support their claim of financial hardship.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedAlgemene ouderdomswet; Algemene wet bestuursrecht: The Social Insurance Bank is entitled to refuse old-age pension benefits when the applicant fails to substantiate their claim of insufficient income with concrete evidence.
